The Sanctuary Resort
Imagine sipping your morning coffee, only feet from the Pacific Ocean, on the enormous oceanfront terrace of Costa Rica’s most amazing waterfront vacation resort. This Tropical Resort is located in Playa Azul in Guanacaste. Amid lush tropical landscape, from the comfort of your own private retreat whales and dolphins pass by creating memories of your time in paradise. This secluded Playa Azul resort is nestled between the Pacific Ocean and lush Costa Rican forests on 80 acres of pristine, uninterrupted coastline. The Sanctuary Resort and Spa is near many ecotourism attractions, including Playa Ostional Beach, inhabited by the endangered Olive Ridley turtles; Barra Honda Caverns National Park, home to one of the last tropical dry forests in the world; Tamarindo National Wildlife Refuge, a saltwater jungle estuary spanning 1,200 acres with a mangrove border; Diria National Park, a 13,402-acre wildlife refuge; and Lomas Barbudal Biological Reserve, which houses almost one-quarter of the world’s bee species.
